GOOD ENOUGH TO BE YOUR WIFE
(Ralph Murphy)


Jeannie C. Riley - 1971



You ask me if we can live together
Marriage doesn't fit your way of life
And you say that you'll be with me forever
Well if that's true, please make me your wife

'Cause if I'm good enough to be your woman
Good enough to share your life
Good enough to live together
I'm good enough to be your wife

Good enough to have your children
Good enough to give 'em life
Good enough to do your cookin'
I'm good enough to be your wife

(Instrumental Break)

I don't care what people say about us
Lovin' one another isn't wrong
And I don't care as long as we're together
Right here next to you's where I belong

But if I'm good enough to be your woman
Good enough to share your life
Good enough to live together
I'm good enough to be your wife

Good enough to have your children
Good enough to give 'em life
Good enough to do your cookin'
I'm good enough to be your wife

(Instrumental Break)

Darlin', I'm so glad you want me with you
But sharin' someone's life just ain't a game
So if you really want to live together
Then first of all I've got to have your name

'Cause if I'm good enough to be your woman
Good enough to share your life
Good enough to live together
I'm good enough to be your wife

Good enough to have your children
Good enough to give 'em life
Good enough to do your cookin'
I'm good enough to be your wife
